Only by inhabiting Dao (the Way of Nature) and dwelling in its unity can humankind achieve true happiness and freedom, in
both life and death. This is Daoist philosophy's central tenet, espoused by the person?or group of people?known as Zhuangzi
(369?-286? B.C.E.) in a text by the same name. To be free, individuals must discard rigid distinctions between good and bad,
right and wrong, and follow a course of action not motivated by gain or striving. When one ceases to judge events as good
or bad, man-made suffering disappears and natural suffering is embraced as part of life.Zhuangzi elucidates

The basic writings of Chuang Tzu have been savored by Chinese readers for more than two thousand years. And Burton Watson's
lucid and beautiful translation has been loved by generations of readers. Chuang Tzu (369?-286? B.C.) was a leading philosopher
representing the Taoist strain in Chinese thought. Using parable and anecdote, allegory and paradox, he set forth, in the
book that bears his name, the early ideas of what was to become the Taoist school. Central to these is the belief that only
by understanding Tao (the Way of Nature) and dwelling in its unity can man achieve true happiness and freedom, in both life
and death. Chuang Tzu: Basic Writings includes the seven "inner chapters," which form the heart of the book, three of the
"outer chapters," and one of the "miscellaneous chapters." Watson also provides an introduction, which places the philosopher
in relation to Chinese history and thought. Witty and imaginative, enriched by brilliant imagery, and making sportive use
of both mythological and historical personages (including even Confucius), this timeless classic is sure to appeal to anyone
interested in Chinese religion and culture

"One of the great founders of Taoism, Chuang Tzu lived in the fourth century BC and is among the most enjoyable and intriguing
personalities in the whole of Chinese philosophy. Like the Lieh Tzu and the Tao Te Ching, the Chuang Tzu perceives the Tao
- the Way of Nature - not as a term to be explained but as a path to walk. 'The Tao that is clear is not the Tao'; experience
is all." "The Book of Chuang Tzu enters into debate with logic and dances around philosophy, making Confucian earnestness
- along with the pretensions of emperors, bureaucrats and sages - the frequent butt of its jokes. Radical and subversive,
employing wit, humour and shock-tactics, the Chuang Tzu is concerned not with government but with the life and growth of the
individual spirit."--Jacket
